Margaret Ann Parker
Will Tell us About
The Crazy Quilt of Life

Margaret Ann Parker is a local woman who, after giving up her career in nursing, finally found the time to fulfill her dream of organizing and transcribing her grandmother’s diaries. With the help of Portland student Jordan Brown, she published Lida Beaty-Jackson’s diaries in a book whose cover pictures a “crazy quilt” stitched by Lida herself, her mother, and her sister Minnie Elizabeth. That quilt is now in Parker’s care. The book, with Lida Beaty-Jackson as the author, is available at Powell’s Books, Amazon, and other book sellers.

The Crazy Quilt of Life allows us to visualize life on the prairie in the late 1880s through Lida Beaty-Jackson's eyes. She shares the pain and struggles of the journey west to a new home and a new way of life. The diaries reveal how difficult what we regard as everyday activities were in Lida’s day. The book also includes intriguing genealogical information about Lida and her family.
